Saturday was by far the most beautiful day of the year so I was out and about. Stopped by a site that has some ruins to see if it is still there as it is 100 meters from a rock quarry and is doomed. Site is still accessible by 3 meters. Detected this site for hours a few years ago, only found a knife that is around 800 years old and a coin from 1851. I want to dig out part of this cellar hole and sift the dirt just for fun if I can make it in time. Chain link fence just right of the cellar hole.
There are several stone walls like this one attached to the cellar hole in the area.
A nice view of the quarry about to eat this site.
A warning sign, Blasting Area, with instructions on what to do if you are here and hear a horn blow, run for you life and take cover.
Another area I detected, found absolutely nothing here but trash, LOL!
Stopped by a church lane and dug some Euros lost from weddings then went to the castle for a few hours and found a lone Caltrop in nice condition. Probably the last hunt at the castle site as the weeds are growing fast.
A few relics, end stop for a knife from the early 1500s, religious pendant and a 1988 Spanish Peseta.
A seal matrix from the early to mid 1800s with initials H.I.? Hard to see but the dots after each initial still has red wax in them.
A tap valve, I believe 1600s with makers mark of a small bell and stem of the seal matrix.
Obverse of three silver coins, 1844, 1727, 1876.
Reverse of the coins.
An update on the museum display, they gave me a whole case to fill and want to use it as an advertisement for the museum. Here is another project I am working for the display, a large canon ball, about 10 pounds. There will be two canon balls in the display, one was shot from the castle and the other shot at the castle.
A percussion lock pistol, Caltrop and four crossbow bolt tips. HH and Happy Easter, Mike
